Chapter 1 - Unlucky

[Do you want to check your status?]

A light blue tab with white text appeares in front of the man's face asking him a question.

"What's this? I am confused as hell..." The man says as he looks around to see nothing but an ocean and the three islands that were already mentioned. "Uhh, my head hurts, what was the last thing I did again?" He asks himself a question as he looks at the tab in front of him.

He starts inspecting the tab from all sides. "Hmm, it isn't attached to anything, is it just floating in the air?" He touches the tab. The tab suddenly dissapears and a new larger tab appears in front of him.

[Name: Mikey Hunt]

[Highest Achievement: None]

[Special Attributes: Hidden(will show in 3 days)]

[Skills: None]

[Strenght: 15]

[Speed: 18]

[Stamina: 13]

"What's this? A status? Like in some kind of a game? Strenght, Speed, Stamina and skills. Is this some kind of a joke? Am I dreaming?" Mikey asks himself as he slaps his hand with full force. "Ouch, okay, I am definitely not dreaming, that hurt too much for it to be a dream." Mikey looks at the status again and wonders just what the hell could've happened. The status suddenly closes and a new tab appears.

[Do you want to skip the tutorial?]

[YES/NO]

Mikey reads the question wrong and clicks on YES thinking he will see the tutorial. But the tab dissapears and he realizes what he has done. He punches the tree on his island out of anger, as he punches the tree it cracks a little bit, but soon after the cracks dissapear.

Mikey looks at the tree and says. "Wait a second, a tutorial, a status, game elements. I was launching Minecraft before I appeared here, I remember now. The cracks from the tree dissapeared the same way they would in Minecraft..." Mikey walks around and starts thinking. Am I really in a Minecraft world? But how did I end up here in the first place? What's going on here? This tree also does look like it's from Minecraft. It's squary and it looks exactly like an Oak Wood. "Well, first of all I guess I should ju-"

(Boom, Crack, Smash)

He starts breaking down the tree from the bottom, he breaks the lowest block and a portion of the tree dissapears, just like it would in Minecraft. The rest of the tree doesn't fall down just like in Minecraft aswell. He picks it up. "Where is my inventory?" He asks.

[In order to open your inventory you have to think about opening it]

"What the hell, okay let me try this." Mikey starts thinking and eventually opens his inventory, it's the same as in Minecraft, he can even see himself at the top left of the inventory. The inventory doesn't obstruct his entire view, the same as Minecraft. He notices the block of Oak Wood on his hotbar. He thinks about closing the inventory and that closes it.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Once he leaves his inventory he is able to see his hotbar along with his hunger bar, health bar and even a thirst bar, which isn't in normal Minecraft.

"A thirst bar? Half of it is empty, well, to be fair I am pretty thirsty. I don't think it's going to be okay for me to drink from the ocean around me." He says as he starts breaking down the rest of the tree, after it breaks down he is left with five oak wood. He turns them into wooden planks, crafts a crafting table which allows him to get a Wooden Pickaxe.

[Achievement Completed: Get a Wooden Pickaxe]

[Reward: 5 Emerald nuggets]

"Achievements, here they are, just like in Minecraft, but a reward? There are no rewards for completing achievements in Minecraft... strange. There is also no such thing as Emerald nuggets, and I didn't get achievement for crafting a crafting table or getting wood. I think it's safe to say that I am in a world with Minecraft logic, but there are lots of things that are different from it."

Mikey starts mining under himself, after he digs through a few blocks of sands he reaches sandstone and a few blocks later he reaches stone, he mines it until his pickaxe breaks, then he builds back up to the surface with sand and sandstone.

"Yes! I got two." He says as he picks up two oak saplings which dropped from the leaves of the tree that he broke. Mikey then opens his crafting table again, he crafts a stone pickaxe, axe and a sword.

[Achievement Completed: Get a Stone Pickaxe]

[Reward: 5 Emerald nuggets]

Mikey rearranges his inventory and looks around again. "Now that I think about it, this is an absolutely terrible spawn. I got really unlucky huh. Well, no matter. I have to play with the cards that I've been dealt." Mikey opens the crafting table crafts a boat, takes the crafting table with him, and starts sailing to the island with three trees.

Once he arrives he looks in the sky, the sun is right above him which means that he should still have a lot of time before night strikes. "Now then, the real question is. Can I skip the night by sleeping? If I can't does that mean that there are more humans out there? It would be interesting to find out, but the problem is that I don't have a bed."

Mikey starts cutting down the first tree from the bottom with his axe, the wood is taking longer to break than with a hand. Once he mines the block, the entire tree falls down along with the tree crown, when they come crashing to the ground, the tree dissapears.

Mikey receives 5 Oak Wood from it, an oak sapling and an apple, which is the first food source that he got. I know what this mod is, he thinks to himself. I used to play on a server where they had this mod implemented.

Mikey destroys the other two trees and crafts a stone shovel, he mines a few sand blocks and dirt blocks, then he heads for the third island, the one with the little wooden hut. Once he reaches it, he builds up to the top of it with the sand and dirt blocks that he mined, besides the wooden hut which he already saw from his starting island, there seems to be a cave on this island that has most likely been explored because it's lit up.

Mikey goes inside the wooden hut, from the first moment he enters he can tell that it's abandomed. Some of the windows are cracked, there is cobweb around the place and a lot of dust too. Besides that there are two furnaces, a chest and a bed that he was looking for. He opens the chest, there are a lot of things inside it, but he first takes out a book with a red texture.

Mikey opens it and reads the first page.
